Night lies down

Night lies down, spreads out luxuriously widebehind naked Moon andMoon rests gently against Night's breastmarking their place in Time.Mars moves in close like a chaperonekeeping company with the Stars,sailors of Sky's vast fleet.They watch without envynot like jealous bridesmaids waitingfor their chance to shine as brightly.They are passing cousins.Some making return visits,others getting a first glimpse since they splitin the war they now call the Big Bang.Sky remembers that event differently,and the lengths gone toto tell the story, slowlyenuciating every faint glimmer and glisteninglost on the earthly speed demons below.
